Thompson Issues Statement on Articles of Impeachment

December 10, 2019

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Following the announcement, Congressman Glenn ‘GT' Thompson issued a statement:

"Impeachment has been a foregone conclusion for the Democrats. By politicizing the most severe powers reserved for Congress, they will undoubtedly leave a lasting stain on the institution," said Rep. Thompson. "After considering all of the information presented, I have only heard emotional arguments that do not rise to the level of impeachment. Therefore, I will not vote in favor of the articles of impeachment. The American people deserve much better than this spectacle and I encourage my colleagues to refrain from trying to score cheap political points on the campaign trail and get back to the people's work."
